Trevor Best is a serial entrepreneur who is building the next big thing in chemical refining. His company, Syzygy Plasmonics is building a new type of chemical reactor driven by renewable electricity from making hydrogen or turning carbon back into useful molecules. The technology comes out of the very own Houston Grown Rice University and was built on top of 30 years of nano-photonics research. Syzygy is commercializing a photocatalyst, a material that uses light instead of heat to facilitate chemical reactions. This photocatalyst is orders of magnitude higher performing than any other in history. Trevor
